Campaign against Tesco expansion on Roundhay Road, Oakwood, Leeds gathers strength

"The Proposed Development

Tesco has submitted a planning application to alter their Roundhay Road site. Though the development was advertised to local residents as “improvements to their local store”, the plan actually consists of demolishing the current Tesco and Homebase stores, and erecting a new super-store and a petrol garage. To give an idea of scale, the proposed sales floor is more than double that of the current store, and only slightly smaller than that of the Tesco at Seacroft.

Detailed plans of the proposal are available to view at Oakwood Library or at the Department of Planning in town at the Leonardo Building, 2 Rossington Street, Leeds, LS2 8HD. The plans are not yet available to view online."

One particularly innovative aspect of this campaign is that the campaign website uses javascript to allow you to generate an objection letter straight into the planning department, and tracks the number of times it's used. Nice one.
